903 First Best Actor Award
On the stage, on the right side is Natalie Portman, wearing a bright red floor-drag dress, elegant and noble, holding a small golden man with a smile; on the left is Renli Hall, a classic black and white suit, an elegant gentleman, and the smile curve at the corner of his mouth is graceful and knightly demeanor, like a dream.
The former is the first actor to win the Oscar in Generation Y; the latter is the second actor to win the Oscar in Generation Y, and is also the winner of the oldest actor in film history. For the second consecutive year, the actors of Generation Y successfully reached the highest podium; for the second consecutive year, the academy chose the young actors of Generation Y and were also the "moothier and more fragrant" male actors!
What’s even more interesting is that the relationship between Natalie and Lanley has been continuous from last year to this year. Is this fate or an enemy?
Natalie smiled, and a hint of embarrassment and stiffness flashed in her eyes. This should be the first time the two met in public after the Golden Globe Awards last year. Unexpectedly, it was on the stage of the Kodak Theater. In just one year, the world has changed and earth-shaking.
Natalie thought she would find jokes or ridicule in Lanli's eyes, but she failed. She raised her chin and the dark brown eyes were filled with bright stars in the sky, warm and bright, polite and alienated, and the perfect and decent etiquette had no flaws, as if the Toronto incident had never happened.
Such a glorious and Yueji look made Natalie a little embarrassed. She lowered her eyes in a hurry and handed the Little Golden Man trophy to Lanli in a serious manner. Then she took two steps back in a panic and made way out. When she caught Lanli's back in her eyes, she remembered: It was really rude that she did not congratulate and congratulate her.
But the opportunity has been missed.
Lanli was adjusting his breathing, his heart was surging, his chest was swollen, and the boiling emotions were almost breaking through the constraints and gushing out; the noble's etiquette and rules were continuously sending alarms, constantly reminding that he must not show his emotions, and that he must maintain the noble's elegance and calmness.
He smiled and looked at Natalie's gaze, took the Little Golden Man with a smile, walked towards the microphone with a smile, and looked at the stage with a smile. All his emotions were focused on the control of emotions, but they were still extremely difficult. His fingertips suddenly closed, and his palms felt the flowing lines and edges of the Little Golden Man's outline. The coldness hit the warmth of his skin hard, stirring up a stormy wave.
He lowered his head and his eyes captured the little golden man. The trophy that was full of glory fell into the palm of his hand, so light but so heavy.
In an instant, the emotions broke down, all etiquette, all constraints, and all rules were not counted, and they rushed towards the brain and destroyed all the education. They were so embarrassed that Lan Li had to raise her head and look at the sky, trying to control her emotions. The warmth in her eyes instantly surged and calmed down instantly, and the sourness on her nose could hardly be suppressed.
He thought he didn't care, he thought he could be calm, he thought he wouldn't feel it, he thought he could be calm. But, but...
He closed his fingertips, then closed them again, and clenched the Little Golden Man trophy hard, almost crushing it. His surging mood once again endured, and his blurred vision became clear again. Then, Lan Li lowered his head, smiled, and greeted the audience's gaze.
"Sorry, please forgive my misogynistic. I hope the college will not play the music immediately and urge me to leave the stage." Lan Li joked, but the strong nasal sound revealed his embarrassment and panic. After one sentence, the strong sourness hit the bridge of his nose again, and the hot tears were almost uncontrollable.
So, Lan Li lowered her head and stood silently, silently, with her shoulders and arms gradually stiffening, revealing the inner surging and sighing; the milky yellow light fell down, gently outlining the outline of the side face, and the slight trembling depicted endless joy and sadness.
Looking at Lanli on the TV screen, without words, movements, or even tears, but Matthew Dunlop felt it and deeply felt the surging deep in Lanli's heart.
Matthew sat quietly on the sofa in his New York apartment, quietly watching Lanli bathed in the spotlight, and quietly watching Lanli trying to control his emotions, but two consecutive attempts ended in failure. That forbearance and release spoke thousands of words in the contradiction, and it was hard to describe it.
The surging touch slowly flowed in his heart, and involuntarily, his eyes turned red. Before he realized it, the hot tears fell down. However, the smile on the corner of Matthew's mouth quietly rose. He pulled out a cigarette and held it in his mouth. He did not light it, nor did he wipe the tears, but just quietly savored the mess of this moment, and joy and happiness bloomed in the tears.
There was even more sorrow on the Hollywood Heights Center Square next to Kodak Theater. The "Young Master" was getting more and more excited, moved, and hoarse, and the tears were connected into a sea, which was completely released at this moment.
Lan Li raised her head again, with a thin layer of water mist in her eyes, which was invisible, but the world was filled with colorful colors, dizzying little by little between the interweaving of light and darkness. "It's really too long this way. I even doubt whether this has consumed all my luck. Huh, maybe starting today, I should start worshiping."
There was a hint of hoarseness in his voice, revealing a hint of fragility and panic, but the words of ease of teasing made the audience chuckle.
Long? For the audience, Lan Li, who was only twenty-two years old, was the fastest actor to become the top actor; but for Lan Li, he had experienced two long life, years of restraint, ten years of physical and mental imprisonment, and twenty years of walking alone. He had gone all the way to this stage. He spent two lifetimes, experienced countless vicissitudes and ups and downs. Finally, he finally reached the end.
His fingertips were trembling slightly, and Lan Li couldn't help but hold them tightly, holding the little golden man tightly, so that his fingertips began to turn white. "I was once told that I am not a genius, never; my dreams have no meaning, all persistence is just stupid, I should learn to give up." Lan Li's smile quietly bloomed, dazzling.
A chuckle came from the bottom of the stage, and everyone thought Renly was joking; but Edith and Matthew in front of the TV knew that Renly didn't.
"But now, I'm standing here, accepting countless eye-catching eyes, envious, jealous, and hatred." Lan Li's relaxed words with a hint of teasing could always easily cause laughter, one after another, this time, even Brad Pitt couldn't help but smile, "For an actor without talent, I guess, I must work very, very hard, and I didn't even realize how hard I tried."
Such self-taught and jokes triggered the laughter of the audience. Ryan even whistled and shouted, "Lanli, you are the best." The shout was too abrupt, so the laughter became even more surging.
"I know." Lanley calmly accepted the praise in the direction where Ryan was. Her confident and upright attitude successfully won the audience's applause.
This is the moment that belongs to Lanli, and this is the trophy that belongs to Lanli. He has strength and luck, but no one can deny that this is what Lanli deserves. From "burying alive" to "love crazy" and "I who fights cancer", to "transcendence", this young actor has long proved his strength and talent.
"Every actor is narcissistic. Look, I'm the typical representative. All the comments are about myself. This is not a good sign, so I think I should thank others." Lan Li said so freely and humorously that the laughter in the theater could not stop.
"Jennifer, Felicity, Charlie, and other actors and friends of the crew, thank you for your company. Without you, the work would never be like this in the end. I really want to thank you one by one, but obviously my head is in strike mode now, so wait until I go back, list it and communicate slowly."
This time, it was Jennifer Lawrence's turn to whistle, and laughter and applause from the audience rang out at the same time.
"And, Drake Doremus. At the Telluride Film Festival, you told me that this movie was my own. At that time, I believed you, and 'Love Mad' was born. Now it seems that you are right." Renley thanked Drake in an alternative way, "It's your movie, and it's a privilege to be a part of it."
Drake, sitting in the audience, was already in tears and crying in silence. Finally, he simply buried his head between his hands and started to cry. Only he knew what the movie "Love Crazy" means; only he knew what the movie "Lan Li's role as Jacob means.
Tonight, the commendation received by "Love Crazy" is not only a recognition of Renly's recognition of Drake, but also a memory of Drake's beautiful memories.
"Finally..." Lan Li couldn't help but pause for a moment, his voice choked up again, and the figure appeared in his mind again, Heather Cross.
It was only two weeks since her departure, but it seemed like a century had passed. All memories flocked to her. She missed the Grammy and the Oscars. On the road to her dream, she still couldn't accompany him here.
"Finally, thank you to every loner who has been persisting tirelessly on the road of dreams. Maybe I am stupid. Maybe." Lan Li wanted to speak but stopped, and there were countless words to express, but finally did not speak. She just raised the little golden man in her hand and paused twice in the air. All the words were contained in those dark brown eyes.
The hazy tears reflect the light, and the firm and powerful belief outlines the outline of that handsome face, like Sisyphus, like Don Quixote, like... Renli Hall. Even if dreams are stupid and reality is cruel, he still has no regrets.
Then, without stopping, Lan Li turned around and left the stage, leaving only a back, which made the elder elder in the light and shadow.
